about

“life soup, the roiling stuff of eating, defecation, fornication, generation, death, rot, and regeneration."

- William Ian Miller, The Anatomy of Disgust (1997)

lyrics

I open my mouth, choke down the life soup
It's cold 'cause I left it sitting in the kitchen
While I cried in the bathroom and still left the truth
Alone in the microwave
I wish that I could be brave

I look in the mirror and all I can see
Is the monster I met last night in my dream
She had my face, and she had my name
Sucked the air from the room just the same

My throat is a trash chute
My tongue's rotten fruit
Breathing in flies all looking for food
Expire or aspirate
Why must I choose
Either way someone here's gonna lose

I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna

I hold my nose, I close my eyes
I am afraid of the taste
Of all the dead things that I have to swallow
To become okay
The spit's so acidic, it's burning through my brain

I am melting down my drain

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin

Dreamy and soothing pop, light-hearted even in its melancholy moments. Could be a lot less sweet for my taste though. Entleiber
